Welcome to enjoying everyday life with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program Joyce will be teaching from her series,

put first things first.

Our number one priority in life should be spending time with God.

When and how we spend time with Him looks different for everyone.

An easy place to start is waking up and simply saying,

Good morning God. Now here's joy. to start is waking up and simply saying,

good morning, God.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

How many of you have a dream or a goal

or something that you believe is God's will for you but nothing's happening.

This is probably going to be for everybody tonight.

Or maybe a little something that's happened.

You know, but if you have a big dream or a big goal, you get tired of a little really quick and it gets frustrating. Anybody understand

frustrating? It gets discouraging. Discouraging and it can also get confusing. And you know why it

gets confusing sometimes because the things that we need God to do, it's like God it's not that big deal you are God you can do

this won't take your whole day or anything you can just look in my direction and get this done.

And so sometimes it's very frustrating when first of all we believe God has put something in our heart.

He's the only one that can bring it to pass, we know he could without much effort, but he just won't yet.

Or he hasn't.

Well, I'm going to kind of back up and tell you a little bit of story.

When God first called me to teach, for the first five years I just taught a home Bible study.
